• Ability to work as part of a team.
• Demonstrated record of research achievements, as evidenced by journal publications and/or conference papers (in an area of applied probability, stochastic modelling, optimization, statistics or a related field) and the potential to further develop a good publication record.
• Ability to work independently.
